Description: A very active Acanthurus Tang, they would make a great, peaceful addition to larger reef tanks. It is very important to feed both meat and veggie based foods. Originating from the Western Indo Pacific, it will work well with most other reef fish. As always, be cautious when adding with conspecifics, as they may be aggressive towards each other. Feeding vitamin C on pellets everyday can help with disease prevention.
